Last Updated: Aug 07, 2017 11:50AM CDT

Which Educational Institutions Qualify for Free Software from Autodesk?

Autodesk provides educational licenses for free* access to Autodesk software to Qualified Educational Institutions that are located in certain regions. A “Qualified Educational Institution” is an educational institution that has been accredited by an authorized governmental agency within its applicable local, state, provincial, federal, or national government and has the primary purpose of teaching its enrolled students. The software can be used for learning, teaching, training, research and development that are part of the instructional functions performed by the educational institution.

Access for Educational Institutions

Do you oversee a computer lab or other multi-seat deployment for your educational institution?
Follow this general process to get free access to the software for your institution.

Set up your Education Account. If you don’t already have an Autodesk ID, this process will help you get one. (Avoid using a personal account for the Autodesk ID, since this sign-in may be used by others that you designate in your institution.)
